Configuration Management Database (CMDB)

A Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is a structured repository that stores information about an organization’s IT assets, including hardware, software, and network components. It tracks how these assets are configured, their relationships, and changes over time. This helps organizations manage their IT environment efficiently, ensuring that they have an accurate understanding of their technology landscape. By maintaining a CMDB, companies can improve incident management, assess impacts of changes, and enhance overall service delivery, ultimately leading to better decision-making and resource allocation.
